I say more like ignorant. Ignorant to follow the lead of someone else before researching and validating information on their own. Ignorant because they can not think for themselves

It's for a good cause. And it will sell much better if it says Obama rather than the name of some unknown ghost writer on the cover.

You people are sick, your infantile hate makes you blind.

President Obama's picture book for kids, Of Thee I Sing: A Letter to My Daughters (Knopf, $17.99), pays tribute to 13 Americans whose traits he sees in his own children.
The 31-page book, for kids ages 3 and up, is filled with lyrical questions for Malia, 12, and Sasha, 9, opening with, "Have I told you lately how wonderful you are?"

The book, out Tuesday, is illustrated with Loren Long's paintings of the Obama girls and their dog, Bo, as well as the 13 famous Americans as kids and grown-ups.

A series of two-page spreads asks questions ("Have I told you that you are creative?") across from short tributes. He writes of Georgia O'Keeffe: "She helped us see big beauty in what is small: the hardness of stone and the softness of feather." His most controversial choice may be Sitting Bull, who defeated Custer at Little Bighorn: ("A Sioux medicine man who healed broken hearts and broken promises.")

Obama's publisher says he's not planning interviews or events for the book. His royalties are to go to a scholarship fund for children of soldiers killed or disabled.

I think it's kind of nice, actually.

SourD likely believes the president should be teaching his girls how to use a AK-47....

Isn't this his second, while in office?
From the linked article:

Obama's lawyer, Robert Barnett, says the manuscript was written between the 2008 election and the 2009 inauguration,

Perhaps you are thinking of the last time a thread was started on this very same book.

If Obama was worried about that cause he never would have cancelled that voucher program in DC. The man is a hypocrite and is doing this to try and smooze over more mallable people and their children with this. He needs to stick to running the country.

How disgusting...more hatred. The POTUS haters draw the line at nothing. The really sad part is that some of these people have offspring.
